Usage notes
- Usually uncountable for the general idea: il trasporto pubblico, i costi di trasporto. Use plural trasporti for transport systems or sectors.
- For moving goods, trasporto is broader; spedizione often means shipment/dispatch, and consegna focuses on delivery to the final destination.
- In everyday speech, mezzi di trasporto is very common for means of transport. Don’t use trasporto alone to mean a vehicle.
